UTICA SHALE: Aubrey McClendon, the founder and former CEO of Chesapeake Energy who is largely responsible for the development of Ohio's Utica Shale, is back in Ohio with a new company focusing on the southern portion of Utica Shale, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. McClendon resigned from Chesapeake, which is the largest player in the Utica shale region, a year ago after shareholders began questioning his use of personal stakes in company-owned wells and the company's debt under his leadership. McClendon has now raised an estimated $4.1 billion in equity and loans with his new company, American Energy Partners LP, to begin acquiring drilling sites and has acquired 16 Ohio permits for horizontal wells. American Energy Partners has also been purchasing newspaper ads and billboards for attracting oil-field workers. Click here to read more at ohio.com.

WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE: An investigation revealed that former Akron police officer Donald Schismenos had a veritable library of secret photo, video and audio files of criminals, fellow officers and even court proceedings that he recorded almost daily and stored on his city-owned computer but didn't turn them over as evidence, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. Police also discovered weapons taken from suspects, police reports, crime scene videos and employee records of fellow officers. About 10-12 arrests that Schismenos had recorded have been turned over to county prosecutors to determine whether or not the recordings were required to be shared with defendants in those arrests, in accordance with Constitutional law that law enforcement shares all of its evidence with defendants. Schismenos' computer contained 220 gigabytes of secret recordings, taking up about 30 percent of the department's server. Click here to read more at ohio.com.
